testimonials

Excellent service and an impeccable event!

Harry Portman

The venue was the perfect size and the ambiance created a great feel for our event. We appreciate the friendly and professional staff. The food was delicious, which we were able to customize for our event. As you know planning a big event does not come easy, but our coordinator was able to listen to our needs and also make suggestions that made it easy to plan.

Lisa DeLange - MegaDiamond

I was exceptionally pleased with the convention center facilities. They are state of the art and the responsiveness and pleasantness of the staff. Our visitors came from across the nation, Europe and Australia. They loved the convention center, the views and the beauty and the walkability of the downtown area with its restaurants and shops.

Brian Cannon - Agricultural History Society

Thank you for the hard work and professionalism you put in at our event on the 13th of September. It was pure madness and you and your team handled it beautifully. I was also very impressed by how you remembered I loved the skewers! That attention to detail proves how much better you are than others in the business, it doesn’t go unnoticed, or unappreciated.
